Ep 96: Joshua Cutchin: Otherworldly Inversions

Send us a text

Joshua Cutchin is an acclaimed author and researcher of the paranormal.

He is the author of seven critically-acclaimed books: 2015's A Trojan Feast: The Food and Drink Offerings of Aliens, Faeries, and Sasquatch (translated into Spanish as Banquete Troyano); 2016's The Brimstone Deceit: An In-Depth Examination of Supernatural Scents, Otherworldly Odors, & Monstrous Miasmas; 2018's Thieves in the Night: A Brief History of Supernatural Child Abductions; and 2020's Where the Footprints End: High Strangeness and the Bigfoot Phenomenon, Volumes I & II, with Timothy Renner. In 2022, he released his two-part masterwork: Ecology of Souls: A New Mythology of Death & the Paranormal.

The day before our interview, Joshua's new film The Lady of The Lake was released on Prime, so I took the opportunity to ask him about it. (frustratingly, it's not available yet in the UK).

   • The Lady of the Lake (2024) Trailer -... 

The documentary film is a Fortean perspective on the case of the murder of Haille Illingworth whose remains were found in Lake Crescent in 1940, after she had gone missing in 1937. See Joshua's blog for more info.

We get into all things watery, sea monsters, thresholds and Otherworldly inversions!
